​Since the Launch of the Local Hero Award in the summer of 2016,The Centre partnered up with West Lothian Courier to reward individuals who have dedicated their time and efforts in to helping others in their community. In order to give thanks and honour those who have went above and beyond for their community, each recipient is rewarded a £100 Centre Gift Card.

After being nominated by her proud daughter, Louise Starrs from Whitburn received The Local Hero Award in December for her tremendous charity work. Over the last ten years, Louise has raised £30,000 for the Children’s Appeal.
